Data types

What data do you need?

MenaData spans every core modality AI teams need to train and evaluate models — not just voice, and not just Arabic.

Text Data

Arabic and multilingual text datasets for LLM training, fine-tuning, reasoning, conversations, translation, instruction tuning, and domain-specific tasks.

Audio & Speech

Speech recordings, conversations, dialect data, ASR, TTS, code-switching, call-center audio, and natural spoken language.

Image Data

Real-world images from the MENA region for computer vision, OCR, retail, mapping, document AI, and visual recognition.

Video Data

Human actions, real-world environments, robotics tasks, driving environments, and multimodal AI training.

Human Feedback

Preference ranking, RLHF, response scoring, safety evaluation, cultural alignment, and AI output comparison.

Expert Data

High-quality data created or reviewed by professionals such as doctors, psychologists, lawyers, engineers, teachers, and accountants.

Custom projects

If the data doesn't exist, we'll build it.

MenaData specializes in custom data projects designed around a specific model, region, or use case.

"We need 500 hours of Saudi Arabic conversational speech."
"We need 50,000 images from grocery stores across Riyadh."
"We need 100,000 Arabic AI-response preference rankings."
"We need 5,000 videos of real-world household activities."
"We need 20,000 Arabic legal Q&A pairs reviewed by lawyers."
